Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Hubungan Indonesia-Malaysia: Memerlukan Perspektif dan Kebijakan Baru?
Get PDFThe relationship between Indonesia-Malaysia in 2005 and 2006 id quite problematic concerning three main issues: illegal migrant, illegal logging, and Ambalat’s dispute. Historically, there were disputes which broke up the relationship between the two countries in 1963 until 1966. Forty years later (1996-2006), three main issues occured, which have no correlation with formerly disputes. Those issues have become significant after Indonesia entered multidimensional crisis in 1997-1999 and the effects remain. At the other side, Malaysia has reached rapid growth in economic, business, manufacture, and financial in the last past seven years. These two realities of circumstances have become Indonesia and Malaysia position background, considering their own self as the right one of the three sensitive issues. The reconstruct of a good, close, and maximal neighbourhood between the two countries is really expected. This article observes the needed of consideration from Indonesia on policy aspect and new perspective in facing pressure from Malaysia. It is obvious that those matters are the consequences for the establishment of an advantage relationship between the two countries
Piagam ASEAN, Legalitas Tonggak Baru, Menuju Integrasi Regional
Get PDFThe ASEAN Charter which was ratified on December 15, 2008 has drawn various reactions from The regional community. This writing seeks to evaluate upon what are the Charter’s strength and weakness. The Charter is indeed not a tool which can directly solve the regional problems, yet at least now Southeast Asiab owns its set of mechanism which shall bind its members legally and can be used to create regionally formal rules. The Issues and challenges which the Carter seeks to solve includes: democratization, human rights and the ASEAN single market of 2015. The diversifying socio cultural aspects as well as other issues remain as challenges in creating a common perception and recommendation for the three issues. Therefore, despite of its ratification, the ASEAN Charter must undertake a difficult test
ASEAN Competitiveness, Is Indonesia Ready Yet?
Get PDFWhat does it mean by ASEAN competitiveness? And, is Indonesia ready for it? These are the questions that have become the main issues to be discussed in this article. Therefore, it is important to note some main key messages introduced by ACI in relation to ASEAN position within its competitiveness and its future prospect, and the dynamic of world economic, such as; ASEAN is facing profound changes in the global economic climate with the rise of China and India and weakened economic prospects in major advanced countries. Besides, this Southeast Asia Regional Organization is also entering a new phase in its cooperation as members move towards building an ASEAN Community by 2015. Thus it is important and urgent for Indonesia to have its priority, and to be ready for its micro and macro competitiveness, that are more advance than the ASEAN 3 (Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia)
Politik Luar Negeri Indonesia: Pantulan dari \u27Weak State\u27 dan Masa Transisi yang Berkepanjangan
Get PDFEvaluation of Indonesian foreign policy leads us to assess the following: Firstly, since the Soeharto era we have had close relations with the Western countries, we have enjoyed billions of US dollars of loans, held technical co-operations in various aspects, we have oil reserves, LNG and other potential natural sources; but as a result of the multidimensional crises in 1997-1999, our economic and business activities, as well as financial and banking systems, have been ruined. Secondly, the three following administrations (B.J. Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid and Megawati Soekarnoputri, 1998-2004) were not able to do much, let alone restore Indonesia to its former position as a respected country among ASEAN community. Thus, Indonesia has continued to deal mainly with its problems of internal crises and undeniably, has become increasingly dependent of the mercy of Western countries (including the donor agencies and international financial institutions) regarding financial loans and other economic aids. This article is aimed to explain: (a) the meaning of the term “weak state” (b) what can Indonesia do with its foreign policy, which inevitably has to compromise with the “Weak State” condition? (c) what are the policies that should be implemented so that we can come out of the delicate situation
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
